let chelsea come for these players then you begin hear crazy price .. Kounde gone for 60m, Konate was sold for 43M EUR minus add on .. Upamecano, well you know how bayern operates when it comes to bundensliga player

It's only mumu that would go for players after they have already signed for big club. All these boys are more or less the same player. When Todibo left for Nice for £10m, did they bid? It is when Todibo become £50m that Tuchel will start chooking mouth. Is it not the same Tuchel that allowed Guehi to walk away and about to do the same to Colwill? 1 year later we would are hearing that Guehi is the only quality on the market, probably hear the same about Colwill in 2 years. The Abdou Diallo I mentioned that is available for £20m is on the same level with all these players, but no, it must be a player in a good contract situation that Tuchel will start chasing for £60m. These players boku abeg.

The market is already inflated, and we are at that time where Defenders are more expensive than forwards. No one is ready to let go of their defender except we are going to South America to gamble on players from Flamingo.

This is not to absolve tuchel of any wrongdoings, he is obviously very bad at signing. I don't think he has been entrusted with signing players since he began his coaching career

I don't believe defenders are more expensive than forwards except when Tuchel is bidding. That's my principle criticism, placing value on cheap positions. Forward is a skill that takes lots of practice and expertise. Defence, any fast, strong player with a little technique can do it.

Below are under 23 French centrebacks alone. How many Raphinas can you create a montage of at the same level. Demand and Supply dictates there are many centrebacks that can do a job but hardly anyone that can replicate Raphinha job at that price.

Singapore1:
These things are not as straightforward as we are making them seem. I remember people giving Chelsea a stick for signing Lukaku instead of Halaand forgetting Halaand wanted Man city. The same thing happened with Raphina. Chelsea even enquired about Kane this season. There is so little you can do if a player doesn't want to play for you.

The Cucurella we are talking about would have chosen Man city ahead of us.
Lastly, I'd Rather we sign one good player than a player like malacia, whom we are going to curse at the end of the day

Is there anything that will make a Bissouma favour a Spurs over Chelsea, not even Perisic who knows Conte before will choose Spurs.

My brother, all we are seeing here is a failure to plan. Lastly, not one of the players we are currently fighting for is a rubber stamped player. Not Ake, not Dumbfries. The only decent one is Fofana and we don't know how he is after injury and certainly not at £60m even if he is fully fit.

This is not about quality because TT is not presenting quality to us. I never argued with Raphinha or Sterling signing. That is quality. None of these defenders we are being linked with are surer than Abdou Diallo and Thilo Kehrer for example who we can scoop for £40m combined. This is failure to plan, and a manager messing up our transfer planning because of his over-reliance on centrebacks and failure to fix the defensive midfield simply.

amodu:
Those players are your own picks and nothing to substantiate they will come better.

Yes, there will be complain from various quarters if we go low as recommended by you. We will chastise Tuchel for not matching other big spenders and want to compete favourably. The narrative will be, is it his money, why the reluctance to spend?

I am as well surprised you wish for us another season long agony by suggesting staying put with tested failures Kennedy, Emerson and the likes.

Why have you chosen quantity over quality? Why?

The.players he is chasing for £50m are not quality, just expensive quantity. What's £50m about Ake and Dumbfries and how in any way are they more proven in quality than Perisic and Bissouma.

I hope you know Matteo Darmian was benching Dumbfries for a good portion of last season. Yes, the useless Man Utd flop Matteo Darmian!

amodu:
Chelsea fans and complain...

Every player we go for, we will always finger one or two weakness. Is there any perfect player out there?

Nathan Ake is a midget, Fofana is an injury returnee, Kounde is short, Cucurela is expensive buy, bla bla

Wetin we want self?

Check the price on all these players. When you spend big money on a car, you must know the complaints on the car. Did they ban Chelsea from signing £13m Malacia, free Perisic or £28m Bissouma? Would complaints arise if a player is bought for £15m? One G man wants to spend £1 billion on defence alone, for players that are not International regulars and you expect us not to complain?

raumdeuter:
All these are needless shalaye. We know that in a league marathon vs Madrid that was not particularly spectacular, Barcelona finished 18 points behind even behind Villareal

Chelsea finished 19points behind Liverpool last year. If a rookie coach should take current Chelsea to a sextuple we will say he did nothing spectacular

Nonsense. We know they basically played around in the league. It's similar to how Liverpool collapsed in 20/21, nobody will call Liverpool of 2020/21 a small team

24 months before Pep, they won treble. 12 months before they were joint top of LaLiga. Their midfield just dominated Euros to sege (instant replacement for the Deco whose excessive ways they needed to replace to refocus minds). They had the best young player in the world who was already 2nd in Balon d'Or, and only Man Utds UCL win gave Ororo Balon d'Or over Messi. They already had the front 3 of Henry, Eto and Messi in place, had the Spanish midfield that was so dominant in place with Yaya Toure. Even under Rijkaard, they already had Manure parking bus at Old Trafford like Burnley. All they needed to do was get rid of the party rats and the worst coach ever that relegated Sparta Rotterdam

emmyluizzz:
you say what!!!!!....Chelsea should go and buy ola aina hahahahahahahaha


nairaland..you people will not kill me I swear

Ola Aina as back up for £10m, very OK. If you watched Super Eagles matches over the last year, you will know Aina is very decent for backup at the least and better than that Dumbfries Tuchel is chasing by far

Denzel Dumfries that Tuchel is chasing for €40m. Popizaino, come and see.

kingBolton:
I totally agree with this, and we don't even know the Chilwell we are getting back from injury.

If we don't know the Chilwell we are getting back from injury, does Tuchel know the Fofana he is chasing for £60m that is coming back from the exact same injury? Tuchel is gambling with Boehly money

I said at the start of this transfer market that the two Spurs signings of Perisic and Bissouma will solve a lot of problems and stop all this wastefulness. If Perisic was on ground, who will be reasoning Cucurella? If Bissouma was on ground, we will have confidence not to need 10 centrebacks.

We can stomach signings like Malacia for £13m sef that will give you confidence if Chilwell does not return to his normal self. As things stand, the Emerson of Italy and Lyon is very OK if Chilwell looks rusty, as is Kenedy. For RWB, I will easily go and buy back Ola Aina for £10m for my bench and stop all this Dumfries nonsense. Dumfries looks terrible everytime I've seen him for Inter, no better than Zappacosta. Meanwhile Perisic free transfer would have covered both Chilwell and James with a player arguably better than Chilwell and James themselves.

Honestly Tuchel is a terrible operator in the transfer market.

lateefGRDT:
100% you are right....
But my only objection here from their getafe carriers till present cucurrela has improved while Kennedy has regressed

You can only regress physically. As long as your speed and fitness is in place, the only difference between player valuations is who has had the opportunity to play and who has been forgotten

lalaboi:
no wahala, i will take any cup code. pls send through

You are late for Carling Cup too. Only league dey

BlueMann:
Getting rid of Alonso and Emerson is very realistic, cos Barca and Lazio respectively are very keen.

Emerson is not so realistic cos Lazio are not a moneyed club. We are likely to still have Chilwell, Emerson and Kennedy by August end and if that drops to just Chilwell and Kenedy, that's very OK than having two £50m LWBs.

These are not positions where you need billion pound players like attack. Alex Ferguson was not stupid to be winning league consistently with Rafael and Fabio, Wes Browns, Darren Fletchers, John O'Shea's and Johnny Evans. You spend money where it counts, not where 6/10 players can win you the league. Mumu Tuchel is working upside down

I know Cucurella very well cos I watched him in Getafe with Kennedy. He's a good player but the difference between him and Kennedy was non-existent. Kennedy played RW while he played LW. Two years later we are talking about giving Kennedy away for free and buying Cucurela for £50m. Spits.

I would also warn those that care about this club future, not just Tuchel tactical formation of today that Cucurella has never played LB at senior level. He was a LW at Getafe and a LWB at Brighton. Let's learn to look beyond our nose and think about the future stability of this club, buying robust players at good prices.

airmark:
Alonso and Emerson should go. Cucurella is a good addition we must not suffer like last season after Chilwell injured.

Everything is planning. Do we have realistic chances of getting rid of Alonso, Emerson and Kennedy this window? Highly doubtful, therefore taking on Cucurela at mugu money that Sheikh ran away from is a foolish idea. Emerson and Kennedy who are less likely to leave can do a job behind Chilwell.

If Boehly is not careful, Tuchel will blow £1bln of his money on a squad that will still have so many holes

posty56:
why Dem day include colwill for the deal? mtcheww

Tuchel is clueless at transfers. Man City already ran away from the deal, this one is adding Colwill to the deal despite already having 4 LWBs

"Gabriel Slonina is currently in London, now undergoing medical tests... then will sign long-term deal as new Chelsea player. �� #CFC

Club statement soon as documents are completed between clubs: $15m deal, add ons included. Slonina will stay at Chicago on loan until January."

This guy better be back-up material immediately because many decent keepers were available on free transfer this summer like Sam Johnstone, McCarthy and we could pick up Karl Darlow and Dubravka for under £7m after Newcastle signed Nick Pope (which I'll never understand)

They are very stupid to block Sarr move. If you don't get rid of deadwood on time, you will cry later

Leyqute:
You’re just hanging on to your “they finished 3rd the previous season” view only. That’s parochial.

You completely ignored the fact that they also reached the UCL semi finals the previous season. And the semis of the Copa del Rey.

The Messi you said is always injured played 20 games. That’s a substantial contribution in spite of the injury. Maybe you should go back and check too, cos some of the names you mentioned weren’t even in their squad at that time. And they’re well equipped for success DESPITE losing the other aging players that you mentioned.

That’s not a weak team, no matter how you paint it.

And you cannot compare it to winning the UCL with Porto.

That team won UCL in 2006. Their midfield dominated Euro 2008 to sege

And some bobos want us to believe Pep took over nobodies. A team that made Man Utd park bus at Old Trafford even despite the laziness of key players like Ronnie and Deco. All Pep did was take over the best sets of players in the world from the most useless manager in the world, Frank Rijkaard, the relegator of Sparta Rotterdam, the man who uselessed Galatasaray and failed to qualify Saudi Arabia to World Cup subsequently.

Southmumu should have beaten Croatia and Italy easily. He bottled it tactically. They would have still lost to France in 2018 final

Any starting PSG attacker with such GA is a flop

Unlimited22:
Haaland go need small adaptation time o.

He is actually worsening City's play atm

Nothing like that. It's up to Pep to play what benefits him having spent that money and knowing the players profile. Pep always dropped Mahrez and Sterling for AMs when he wanted to choke the opposition so we can say wide wingers and no9 are also not his style. No be today Pep get problem with Ibrahimovic
